MP fixes needed (long read for the devs)

Post » Fri Sep 17, 2010 12:51 am

First let me start off by saying single player is fantastic. Very few games can hold my attention for more than one play through and I think this one will. (I hate reruns) I do think mp has everything it needs to be a solid competitor for the fps market. Its just rough around the edges and heres why...

1) When joining with a party why does the game start in 6 seconds? It would be nice to at least have a 30 second wait time to see if the lobby fills. Playing a game of capture the relay with 6 people when a lobby CANT fill is boring.

2) If I have a party of 6 it should wait till there are 4 or more to oppose us rather than spliting us up and starting instantly.

3)Whats with the laggy connections? Im either full green or 1 bar. And 1 bar is so laggy its unplayable.

4) Maps vs Game modes. Let us play all the modes on all the maps. And stop making new lobbies start with the same 2 map choices. It gets old playing the same maps over and over when you have a good variety available.

5) Making people wait soooooo long to unlock the fun game modes is counter productive. So many of my friends want to play classic and hardcoe but hate the other modes so they have given up because it takes so long to rank up. I have over 24 hours invested and I still cant take them into a hardcoe game. I can take them into classic but since most people dont invest the time I do into the game there is no one to play with. By the time most people (would) have enough time invested to play those modes the servers may be dead. The leaderboard says only 181000 people have played to this point. Out of that amount how many are like my friends and given up cause the modes they want to play arent available to them. Yea I know about having patience but lets be real, most players have the attention span of a 12 year old.

6) Assault mode needs to be tweeked. Forcing me to use a gun with a laser sight that announces HERE I AM is just dumb. Where is the stealth in that. Ive played many games of assault and very rarely doe it end in anything besides 2/2. It always comes down to who has dloaded from 1 spot then successfully ran to the next one unseen. Boring. Great concept but bad implimentation. At least give us a toggle on the laser.

7) Whats the black screen of abyss?

8) Whats the blue screen with white dots when you slide or aim (goes away after awhile)on liberty island?

9) Parties getting sent to the main menu randomly?

10) Ive fallen through the map several times (when getting shot) on lighthouse by the ruins on the lighthouse side and couldnt get out or commit suicide.

11) A couple times Ive gotten shot and never left the kill cam to respawn.




In closing let me say I think you have a great game here and I hope it is successful.

ok, I'll add something :)

1) Can't say much, I play on Pc, where the servers still don't work properly. But 30 seconds of waiting to fill sounds fine. Are you saying people can't join anymore midgame? Then 45-60 seconds would be fine too, or a vote to start maybe...

2) I agree.

3) Lag seems to be an issue across all platforms. Besides that, the engine itself adds some lag too. When an enemy moves quickly left and right, the engine's guess where he is is sometimes so off that it makes sidesteps look like meter long warps... That's my main complaint btw.

4) I noticed that I always play Assault on the same map. At this point fine with me, since I have to learn the maps and game modes, but in the future I would want what you want. And the lobby always starting with the same maps sounds very annoying...

5) Totally agree. Classic mode could attract so many players from "classic" shooters... I guess they want to make sure enough people are playing normal modes after release, but still..

6) Activating Cloak hides the laser for me, and the guys without nanosuit have a full-auto gun, so.. I don't know. I hate the laser too, don't get me wrong, but looks like it's necessary for the right balance.

7) & 8) I don't know what you are talking about, sorry. Just never noticed..

9) Ya, we lose connection too, pretty often actually. Losing XP is never fun. They're working on that already. Let's hope.

10) Happens in single player too... argh..

11) Yep, or the killcam doesn't come up, or shows another kill, or something completely different.

12) My weapon: disappears sometimes, or appears like left-handed, doesn't reload or reloads but doesn't show, or reloads super quick, while you still can't shoot, or doesn't shoot after normal reloading (for a couple of seconds).

13) Enemies: are not where they are shown, or are immobile and give 41 hitmarkers and die seconds later, or strafe left and right more than they are actually able, or just disappear (since they were not there). Makes aiming less reliable than spraying...

14) Spawns: even at the start of a match you can spawn between your enemies, even multiple times on the same spot, while they are still there waiting ready for you.

Lots of bugs, let's hope for the best...
